Data Logger?
#1
I have a project I wanted to log amp draws and voltage discharge curves for so I went looking for an Eagle Tree and saw that the company has gone out of business. Are their other companies that make stand a lone data loggers like the Eagle Tree v4? Im looking specifically for something that can be used on a Kraton 8S but Im also curious if there are any other companies that make any sort of data loggers at all too. Even if I cant find something big enough for my 1/5 Scale stuff I may down the road want something for smaller scale stuff too.

Have you looked at the data logging in the castle creations ESCs? I realise its not stand alone and they are not cheap ESCs but they seem very good. There us a dedicated thread in the speed running subforum over at the Arrma forum all about reading the logs.

Here is a cheap Watt meter that should work well for you.
Because of telemetry getting normal these days and ESC's becoming much advanced there is no need for a sepparate system. So I think you now have to dive into the world of the Arduino with which you can setup a simple data recorder using a SD card module, a voltage devider and an Hall current sensor.

And how can you log data while driving?

This device accumulates Charge [Ah] Amphour and Energy [Wh] Watthour readings till it reset or shut off. This meter also capture and store Peak Amps Ap, Peak Power Wp and Minimum Voltage Vm values during the operation.
While many race oriented escs have some form of telemetry/data acquisition, the esc OP currently has does not. A stand alone system is less expensive and can easily be moved between vehicles of different size. Additionally, the stand alone system is much easier to monitor in the field as you don't have to hook up to an external device to see the data.
